Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

D is incorrect because the authorization of work packages typically falls under the purview of project managers or higher-level project authorities, not work package supervisors. A top-down approach is used to communicate project goals, a bottom-up approach helps in preparing detailed estimates, and pricing units are indeed employed for preparing labor hour estimates and deciding on work areas.
